True Image 2011 CD : partition backing up to EXT4 not functional ?

Thread needs solution

Yesterday, in rebuilding my old PC (built a new one 4 weeks ago), I wanted to do a partition backup to an EXT4 partition on the 2nd HD, using the True Image 2011 CD. It is a bit foggy in my memory as it was a fews days ago and I am in the office now. But I had 2 problems : 1) indicating the name of the location file (invalid name) 2) when I managed to somehow make it accept the location name, it started doing the backup but ended 30 after with an error but saying which error.

I get the feeling that because my location for storing the backup is an EXT4 partition.

Are there any problems with True Image 2011 to use EXT4 as storage location ?
